Did anyone every legitimately confirm that a named RoE gives 4% more XP? I ask because a named tattoo will not gain XP any faster -- it merely operates as if it had an additional 4% more XP trained into it. So, since an RoE doesn't train, what exactly does the naming do to it? I can't find anything in the posts from when it was initially introduced.

However, there's no talk about naming. In the July 27th changelog thread that I just added to the change month entry in the wiki, there's a lot of questions about what naming it actually does -- but no real answers. From what I can tell, this is, so far, just one of those things that everyone "knows" is true simply because everyone else "knows" it's true. Nobody actually tested it or confirmed it, however. At least, not that I can find. I would definitely not might being "enlightened" on this issue, if you excuse the intentional pun.

Well there ya go. I don't think anybody ever really tested it. Slashundhack is willing to, but I don't know to get it done. Would you be willing to test again, Shade, using Slash's named RoE? It would probably help you out pretty well with your NCB.

Just don't fight mages. Nothing matters about the people around you until you're high up on the list. There's enough of a distribution of people that you can always find someone larger than you that you can kill. Not until you hit like 1 or 2 million in score does it matter about the people around you, and at that level, there's only a handful of mages.

According to my 12 fights worth of data, the RoE gives an extra 23.13295483% more exp.
Here is my excel sheet: Click Me!If needed I can do more testing, but I am convinced that the RoE gives ~3% more exp.

I tried again with an unnamed RoE, and there was a definite decrease in the amount of exp gained, however due to my exp rewards being relatively low, I think the randomness skews the exp gained slightly. If shade was correct in the wiki by assuming a 20% increase for unnamed RoE's than named RoE's give ~3% more. Otherwise, have a look at my data and decide for yourself.
